How should I keep changes (space to show style name) to word view?

[Guest]

In the tutorial written by Charles Kyle Kenyon in http://addbalance.com/ he
mentions how to show styles of each paragraph in outline view through:
tools/options/ view/ tab/ space to show style name. Which its default value
is 0 mm
I did it onces to see the result and then I returned to default value of 0
mm. However now every time I open the word in outline, that column appear in
far left and I have to close it manually. I though if I make changes to
option and close the word, it will keep the last changes. How should I keep
changes to word view?

Hi Khoshravan,

Interesting problem you state here: I can reproduce it on my Dutch Word
version, while my English version works fine. Perhaps this is included in
some fix somewhere.

Anyway.

Switch to Outline View, and reset the style area width to 0 mm.
Switch to Normal View. The original style area width is retained. Reset it
to 0 mm.
Close Word. Things should be normal when you start Word again.

Good luck,
Cooz

ingDear Cooz
Thanks for your reply. I did so and after input 0 mm I closed the option
window, returned to general view (the only step I didn't do in previous
solution) and close the word. However it didn't ask for save, which means it
didn't accept the changes and the next time they were right there again!?!.
So your comments didn't solve my problem.
PS) As you mentioned in your PS, I will push YES for you to go one step
toward MVP but in the mean time I would like to ask if you can give any other
comments to solve the problem. I think this might be explained somewhere in
the Internet.

Word doesn't prompt to change Options settings. If they are not being saved,
see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm for information
on how to rebuild the Word Data key.
